Definitions

the invention relates to a mining tool for mining solids with at least one Abrasive body that is at least partially embedded in a carrier material.
the removal tool has one or more abrasive bodies which are at least partially embedded in a carrier material.
abrasive bodies which are at least partially embedded in a carrier material.
To dismantle of solids on the component for example, one or each of the abrasive bodies set in motion by motor relative to the component. Kick the abrasive body or bodies in contact with a surface of the component, so in the contact area Solids broken down.
DE 2 850 015 A1 discloses a removal tool with a plurality of abrasive bodies are embedded in a carrier material.
the carrier material consists essentially of Tungsten, tungsten-cobalt alloys and a substantial part of tungsten carbide.
DE 3 224 141 A1 describes a removal tool with a bolt-shaped carrier body known. At the end of the carrier body on the working direction, the removal tool has in particular drilling tool, one or more abrasive body made of hard metal, the are embedded in a carrier material, in particular solder.
From US 4,930,487 is a disk-shaped removal tool with several abrasive bodies which are embedded in a metallic carrier material, known.
the abrasive body are formed by diamond particles and are over the entire outer circumference of the mining tool arranged.
DE 8 331 514 U1 describes a disk-shaped removal tool, in particular a grinding wheel with several abrasive bodies, in particular diamond plates known.
DE 3 319 167 A1 describes a removal tool, in particular a wire saw with an abrasive body occupied carrier material known, the carrier material by a metal and the abrasive bodies are formed by diamond chips.
a disadvantage of the known solutions is that the known carrier materials only for a limited range of applications can be used. Depending on the degree of hardness one to be machined Solid, the carrier material can be too hard or too soft, resulting in a unsatisfactory degradation performance of the abrasive bodies embedded in the carrier material leads. In particular, high temperatures occur in some applications Drilling process, which makes the carrier material too soft and there is the possibility that abrasive bodies are lost during the dismantling process or in the carrier material be pushed into it.
Another disadvantage of the known solution is that when using a metallic Support material, in particular an iron or copper-containing support material, an extremely high friction occurs between the solid to be processed and the carrier material. For example, if a group of substances forming the solid also contains metallic components, especially reinforcing iron.
Another disadvantage of the known solutions is that the binding of the abrasive body or bodies with the carrier material is insufficient in some cases, and thus an insufficient one Degradation performance of the dismantling tool goes hand in hand.
the object of the present invention is an economically producible removal tool to create a high mining performance that is essentially independent of the external conditions, in particular temperature and a high bond the or the abrasive body in the carrier material ensures.
the group is suitable because the group has a ceramic material connection especially due to their extensive temperature independence for use as a carrier material for one or more abrasive bodies. Furthermore, the group of substance combinations low friction with metallic solids. This also makes for example Machining a hard, with a metallic material, especially concrete with reinforcing iron provided, solid matter possible without jamming.
the Carrier material can, for example, be wholly or only partially from the group of substance compounds be educated. If only a part of the carrier material by the group of compounds the remaining portion can be formed, for example, by a metal or a metal alloy be formed, in particular cobalt, bronze or iron.
the carrier material and one or more abrasive bodies can, for example, also be a meta-abrasive body form. This or these meta-abrasive bodies are then, for example, on a carrier body arranged.
the material compound from the group M n + 1 AX n is advantageously made of Ti 3 SiC 2 , in order to ensure optimum degradation performance.
the carrier material is preferably at least partially on a rotationally symmetrical Carrier body arranged to prevent unbalanced rotation of the removal tool enable.
a rotationally symmetrical Carrier body is advantageous in a hand power tool, around the abrasive body or bodies attached to the carrier body by the carrier material to move in at least one rotational movement about the axis of rotation of the carrier body.
the axis of rotation preferably runs parallel to a working direction of the removal tool.
the carrier body is preferably sleeve-shaped, for example for use ensure the removal tool as a drill bit or the like.
the carrier body is advantageously designed in the form of a bolt, for example to enable use as a drilling tool.
the carrier body is preferably designed in the form of a disk for efficient machining of large flat surfaces of a solid.
the or each abrasive body is formed by diamonds to a high degree To ensure hardness of the abrasive body.
the or each abrasive body is formed by hard metal parts, boron nitride or PCD to ensure the economic manufacture of the dismantling tool.
the carrier material preferably contains 50% by volume to 100% by volume of the substance combination from the group M n + 1 AX n in order to ensure an optimal and temperature-independent degradation performance, in particular in the absence of coolant.
the carrier material advantageously contains 5% by volume to 50% by volume of the substance combination from the group M n + 1 AX n , in order to ensure optimum degradation when using coolant.
a proportion favors acceleration of wear and thus prevents a polishing effect of the removal tool.
the abrasive bodies protrude insufficiently from the carrier material, as a result of which the removal capacity of the removal tool is greatly reduced.
FIG. 1 to 4 show a removal tool according to the invention with one or more cutting bodies 4 which are formed by a plurality of abrasive bodies 1 which are embedded in a carrier material 2.
the abrasive bodies 1 have, for example, diamond parts which are at least partially embedded in the carrier material 2, in particular in the Ti 3 SiC 2 .
the carrier body 3 is connected to the abrasive bodies 1 by the carrier material 2.
the geometry of the outer surface of the carrier body 3 is depending on the area of application Removal tool trained.
An application for example with a hand machine tool to enable, the carrier body 3 is preferably rotationally symmetrical educated.
Fig. 1 is a removal tool with a sleeve-shaped carrier body 3, in particular a drill bit is shown.
the carrier body has a plurality of cutting bodies at one longitudinal end 4 on and at the opposite end includes the support body 3, in the connection part 5 extending on the axis of rotation of the carrier body 3.
the connector 5 it is possible, for example, for the removal tool according to the invention in one Tool holder of a hand tool, not shown, which is used detachable.
the cutting body 4 have on the inside 6, the outside 7 and the end face 8 in the carrier material 2 mounted abrasive body 1.
the carrier body 3 has the cutting body 4 at one longitudinal end on and at the opposite end, the carrier body 3 has a connection region 9 on.
the connection area 9 it is possible, for example, that according to the invention Mining tool in a tool holder of a used, not shown Handheld machine tool detachable.
the cutting body 4 instructs both the lateral surface 11, as well as abrasive bodies mounted in the carrier material 2 on the end face 12 1 on.
the 3 is a removal tool with a disk-shaped carrier body 3, in particular a cutting disc, shown.
the carrier body 3 has a through hole in the center to form a connection area 9.
the cutting bodies 4 preferably extend over the outer surface of the carrier body 3.
FIG. 4 shows an enlarged detailed view of the cutting body shown in FIG. 3 4th
